I would think this risk was assumed when they printed/handed them out in the first place.
Well like I said initially, we have worked hard to build strong relationships with many ski areas. I personally appreciate the reps' presence and the information they provide here. This is something they don't look favorably on and I feel obligated to respect that. If that makes me a sell-out in the eyes of some, that's fine with me.

Personally, I do feel a voucher that is used holds more value than one that is tossed in the trash. Perhaps the person using it wouldn't have tried a ski area otherwise, or maybe they bring a buddy that buys a lift ticket, or they talk it up on here after having a good time. Still, I have to honor the requests to not facilitate something the ski areas discourage.
